Convoy PQ-17 aircraft

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this but where else ?

Convoy PQ-17 had several ships in it that were lost.
Some of them had aircraft in their cargo.
They were -

Earlston - 33 aircraft
Earl Byron - 15 aircraft
Paulus Potter - 15 aircraft
Hartlebury - 7 aircraft
River afton - 7 aircraft

Total 77 aircraft.

If as I suppose these aircraft were loaded in the UK then where would one find out if they were Bomber or fighter type aircraft ? records must have been made of the cargo each ship had.

Again if there are such lists then would it be possible to trace the actual aircraft by ship and serial number ?

Any info welcome.

Alex
